Laundry (washer), 220.52(B)
Lighting from general lighting table 220.12 (storage doubled), this can actually be calculated at 1/4VA but at this level it?s splitting hairs it has no effect on the 27A outcome. I don't believe this building is a "dwelling" but even if determined so the load would only be 28A and the #10 30A feeder would still be minimal.

What is wrong with #6 feeding a 60 amp panel?
